A Stay-at-home Dad’s Restaurant In An Alternate World

Chapter 2119 Rather Soulless

Women who acted coquettishly could lead the best life. This was something Eiffie knew. However, Mr. Hades did not seem to buy that. Besides, his wife was sitting right in front of her. She could not really bring out her fullest potential.

Mala picked up the fish meat in her bowl. It was as if the meat would fall apart if she used just a little more force, but it did not. It was very chewy, and the red sauce covered every inch of the fish. The fragrant and spicy smell wafted over. Before she even put it into her mouth, she was already salivating. She hesitated for a while before putting the fish into her mouth.

The tender meat was wrapped under the slightly charred fish skin. The spiciness and fragrance blossomed on the tip of her tongue. It was a taste that shook her soul, making Mala unable to recover for a very long time.

What was her imagination?

Oh, it was too lacking.

This was a taste she was never able to imagine.

The spiciness made her feel hot all over, and the freshness of the meat brought her to another world, as though she had jumped into a pool on a hot summer day. It was refreshing. Mala was unable to comprehend how the charred fish skin and tender fish meat could coexist. The spiciness did not cover the fish’s freshness, and instead brought it up another level.

“This is too good. Mr. Hades, please accept me as your disciple. I want to learn from you.” Mala put her chopsticks down, and looked at Mag with sincerity and admiration.

“Huh?”

Mag was taken aback. He did not expect Mala’s first reaction was to ask for a mentorship.

“Mala?” Eiffie looked at Mala in shock as well.

This wench… is not using this as an excuse to get a free meal, right?

Mala also realized that her actions seemed a little too rash. She blushed, and stuttered, “I… I just think that you cook really well, and this is the best food I’ve ever had in my life, so… SO…”

“You want to learn it?” Mag smiled.

“Mm-hm.” Mala quickly nodded, her eyes glowing brightly. However, Mag shook his head, and said, “In that case, it would depend on whether your young mistress is agreeable, and whether you have the talent in cooking.”

“Young Mistress.” Mala turned to look at Eiffie, and said seriously, “I can cook for you after learning it.”

Eiffie thought about it seriously for a second, and said, “Okay, I agree.”

She just wanted to eat.

Mala would usually cook at home, but her culinary skills were mediocre.

She was not to blame for that. Mala grew up with Eiffie, and her culinary skills were taught by Eiffie. To be able to reach that standard already showed that she was very talented.

After all, Eiffie would not even dare to try the dishes she made.

If Mala could learn cooking from Mr. Hades, even if it was just a little, their meals could be greatly improved.

They could not leech off Mr. Hades for a free meal forever. Before Eiffie married over, she still had to be realistic.

Mala could learn from Mr. Hades, and as Mala’s parent[1], it would make more sense for Eiffie to come over for more free meals.

Fantastic!

Eiffie looked at Mala with admiration. Mala had put in a lot of effort to create more chances for her.

Mala, who had gotten Eiffie’s consent, looked at Mag again.

Mag looked at Eiffie, and nodded as he smilingly said, “Sure. Since Miss Eiffie is agreeable, I’ll test out your talent after the meal. If you pass, you can learn from me.”

“Sure. Thank you.” Mala nodded excitedly.

Irina glanced at Mag, and did not voice any opinions on that. “Let’s eat.”

Mag put an escargot in his mouth. He held it with his lips, and he sucked the meat in quickly using his diaphragm.

The spicy sauce in the shell came out together with the meat, traveling into his mouth.

The spicy sauce, coupled with the chewy meat, gave the fresh escargot a marvelous texture.

Then, a sip of chilled beer.

This was an indescribable feeling!

This was freshwater escargot. It neither had any fishy or muddy smell, nor had any soil or sand. Therefore, there was no worry of intestinal problems.

All you had to do was suck hard and leave the rest to miracles.

Mag sucked out five escargot in one go, and had some spicy cucumber, and then a sip of chilled beer.

Refreshing!

He looked at the stir-fried escargot before him with satisfaction. This was a top-grade dish to go with alcohol.

Everyone was so stunned watching Mag eat that they forgot to eat.

Amy copied Mag, and put an escargot in her mouth. She sucked on it for a while like a sweet, and almost spat it out. She looked at Mag with bewilderment, and asked, “Father, do you just lick this snail?”

“This is an escargot, not a snail,” Mag corrected. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he recalled that this was their first time trying this dish, so he introduced, “When you eat an escargot, what you’re eating is its meat. The meat of the escargot is hidden within its hard shell. We have to suck it out.

“There is a technique for sucking escargot. For beginners, it’s easier to use your hands. Pick up an escargot like me, and put its opening to your mouth. After that, suck hard, and the meat will come out naturally.

“When you’re more skillful at it, you can just put it in your mouth like me, and use your tongue to adjust its position in your mouth. After that, just suck on it softly before spitting the empty shell out.” “I see.” Eiffie nodded thoughtfully. It seemed Mr. Hades’s tongue was very nimble, and he was also very good at sucking…

After that, some adult images appeared in Eiffie’s mind, and her face flushed.

Irina looked at Mag thoughtfully as well. So this was what he used to train his tongue? She knew best if it was nimble or not.

Amy, who was a chowhound through and through, had already picked up an escargot. She copied Mag’s action, putting it to her mouth, and giving it a hard suck. Amy’s eyes lit up. She chewed on the meat that had landed in her mouth, and swallowed it before looking at Mag in surprise, and saying, “I sucked it out! The escargot is yummy!”

“Mm-hmm. Very talented.” Mag nodded with a smile. Amy was indeed very talented in this aspect.

“Young Mistress, what’s wrong?” Mala was about to try with an escargot when she realized Eiffie’s face was red.

“I might… be a little drunk…” Eiffie took a sip from the cup beside her.

“But you’re drinking water?” Mala was even more shocked.

“The water today is rather intoxicating.” Eiffie glared at Mala, and hinted at her to eat quickly.

Mala took the escargot, and she still ended in failure after a few tries.

“Why can’t I suck it out?” Mala looked at the escargot that had no more sauce in her hand.

“Some people are just like that. It’s alright. You can also pick the meat out with a toothpick.” Mala placed a box of toothpick in front of Mala.

Of course, eating escargot with toothpick was rather soulless.
